The Brooklyn M.C. born Shawn Carter headlines an induction group this year that also includes Kenneth Edmonds (best known as Babyface); the R&B producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis; the Top 40 maestro Max Martin; and the band Chicago’s chief songwriters, Robert Lamm, James Pankow and Peter Cetera. The Motown founder Berry Gordy Jr., who deferred his induction last year, will also be honored.
The ceremony will take place on June 15 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Manhattan.
Congrats HOV!!
